THE ROBERTS AND MBOYA FAMILY CONFIRM THE PASSING OF NOMAKULA ‘KULI’ ROBERTS

It is with profound regret and sadness that we confirm the untimely passing of our dear daughter, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt Nomakula ‘Kuli’ Roberts (49).

She sadly passed away late last night (9th February) in Johannesburg.

Affectionately known and loved by her friends, family, and the South African entertainment industry at large, Kuli Roberts was an all-round media personality who was always the life of any gathering.

Her love for family, friends, work and very importantly her community is well known.

Kuli leaves behind her two children, her beloved grandchild, her parents and three siblings.

We humbly request that you respect our need for privacy, as we go through this difficult period of grieving and healing. We ask that you please keep us in your prayers.

The Roberts and Mboya family are deeply thankful for all the countless personal messages of love and support received thus far. These are appreciated.

The details of her memorial and funeral will be confirmed in due course.

With much love and thanks, the Roberts and Mboya family…

It's impossible to say what happened because of the different stories doing the rounds.

According to City Press, a close friend says she had a seizure and collapsed on the set of her new show at 19h00, but according to True Love a friend says she was at a get-together with friends and collapsed at 22h00. Both stories are on News 24.
